Conveniently located, small but very comfortable

Shirley2017-01-31T00:00:00Z

Orca Guesthouse is great for central location right in Stromness. Doris a very efficient and friendly host - has made sure all basics provided (and easy to contact if any queries). Excellent breakfast. We had a great 5 day stay - used the washing machine and drier, fridge to store food, library to read if too tired to go out! Small but well organised room.

Juliette2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

Very comfortable stay! The homemade breakfast the next day was very affordable and delicious. Doris was very accommodating with my late check-in.

Will2016-10-20T00:00:00Z

Thank you Doris! I arrived for my stay pretty late, and she was so accommodating and welcoming. I booked the twin room and had plenty of space, a nice bathroom, a TV, and kettle with tea and coffee. The night was chilly, and I felt great cozying up in my warm room. I only regret that I didn't get to try the breakfast as I heard it was great!

Kathleen2016-11-14T00:00:00Z

Orca is a wonderful house to stay in the heart of old Orcadian town Stromness and Doris is a perfect hostess. The few pubs, cafes and takeaways are just a few steps away from this seawiew hideaway. Doris is the soul of Orca b&b. Even though there was only one client on a dark and rainy january sunday, she created a lovely Scottish breakfast. The house itself is clean and cozy. Rooms are warm, very functional and country style.

Self Catering Bothy located in central Stromness. Open plan living, dining and sleeping area. Beautiful waterfront location. Can be either set up as a Superking double bed or two single beds. Pets welcome by prior arrangement.
Parking is between 2 and 5 minutes walk away

The Bothy is located right at the end of a pier in the centre of the small Harbour here in Stromness. It is right in the middle of town so very central.

The Bothy is everything all the other guests have talked about in their reviews! It was just absolutely magical staying there, enjoying gorgeous sunrises, watching the boats in and out of the harbour.... The place itself was very cosy, and Serena welcomed us and also allowed us the space we needed to enjoy it! I couldn't think of a better or loveliest place to stay in the Orkneys. Very romantic!! Thank you Serena for offering that!

Nadasree Georgete2015-11-04T00:00:00Z

Great little Bothy, perfect for 2 people. right on the harbour and in the centre of Stromness

Lee2015-06-30T00:00:00Z

Wonderful little bothy,right on the sea front and handy for all local shops/pubs/chipy.We had everything we needed and more-place is realy well set out with a nice kitchen, beds are comfy and bathroom clean with fresh towels. Will use again for sure ,many thanks Serena.

Excellently located in Stromness for getting around and in our case an overnight stop pre early ferry. Great comms from Lisa throughout and when we arrived to check in. Thoroughly recommended.

Elliott2017-04-11T00:00:00Z

The Bothy was perfect! It was located centrally on a cute street in Stromness. I had absolutely everything I needed. There was always someone close by if we had happened to need anything. On the other hand, we were also given privacy. It was like having my own little house by the sea! The Bothy was clean and the cutest little place!

Cee2015-06-19T00:00:00Z

A very cool location! The Bothy is a close walk to most of Stromness. It was very cozy and we enjoyed our stay. Serena was great at communicating and she gave us two tickets to the opening concert at the folk festival. So nice! There is no wifi like is listed. If you have to connect, the public library down the street has good coverage.

James2016-05-30T00:00:00Z

We loved our little home away from home, on the pier, with all the necessary amenities, and a lovely view of the Stromness harbour. A pleasant surprise of biscuits and a bottle of milk, tea and coffee were there waiting for us on arrival! Serena has family who live across the way who checked on us early on to ensure we settled in well. We did call upon them once and they were very friendly. Loved exploring Stromness and vicinity from our little Bothy.

My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and business travellers.

The apartment provides a cozy intimate holiday base ideally located for sightseeing, walking, local amenities. You will be sharing my home.

Stromness is a pleasant friendly little town, the house is located in a residential area.

Roseanna was a lovely and friendly host, and Grace the dog was super cute too. Really enjoyed out stay.

Shelly2017-03-04T00:00:00Z

My boyfriend and I stayed with Roseanna for two nights while we were in the Orkney Islands, and what a treat it was! Roseanna is an amazing host (and all around wonderful person) and we enjoyed chatting with her and adored her sweet pup Grace. She gave us great tips about the area and told us about the Craft Trail ( not to be missed!) as well as put out a wonderful breakfast for us in the morning. If you are looking for a wonderful, clean, quiet and close to the ferry place to stay look no further! Thanks for everything Roseanna!

Expect warm and elegant hospitality from Roseanna and a lovely, clean and comfortable room overlooking the harbour in Stromness. A five-minute walk gets you into the heart of Stromness and right to the water. Stellar!

Andrew2017-09-04T00:00:00Z

Roseanna was a fantastic host. The room was perfect, clean and elegant, breakfast just superbe. But above all, she was wonderful with us. Plenty of advices, nice talking and a kindness you don't see so often in a person, I hope she'll come to visit Sicily.

Ivan2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

Roseanna and the Victoria House were both outstanding. We had a bit of a travel snafu our first day in the island, and Roseanna went above and beyond in helping us sort it out. The room was well-appointed, with fantastic views of the lighthouse opposite Stromness harbor. If you like soft beds, then this is the place for you! The continental breakfast was ample and delicious. We felt exceptionally well cared for. Highly recommended!

Shannon2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

Roseanna is a warm and welcoming hostess. Her home is beautiful and a great base for exploring Stromness. A very enjoyable stay, highly recommended!

Khyber Pass Cottage is a rare gem, completely unique yet quintessentially Orcadian and especially representative of Stromness.
You are just a moments walk away from restaurants, pubs, museums and galleries. The cottage offers perfect accommodation for couples or solo travellers, it is remarkedly quiet and private yet you will benefit from the central location.
The open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area offer a charming and cosy atmosphere and the open fire just adds to the ambience..

Great location, very clean and comfortable place to explore Orkney from. Christine was very helpful and responded to questions very quickly.

James2017-04-12T00:00:00Z

An absolute gem. Tucked away up a winding stone staircase, the cottage is cosy, clean and quiet - perfect for retreats or a romantic getaway. Stromness is a delightful wee town too. Christine was the perfect host. Highly recommended.

Dave2017-01-14T00:00:00Z

Christine has an amazing place in Stromness - fantastic location and really tranquil. It is perfect for a relaxing getaway for two. Her cottage was immaculate with amenities when we arrived including the fire place all ready to be lit. On the day of arrival we experienced some technical booking issues, no fault of Christine's - she kept us up to date on our booking and reassured us that everything was ok whilst we were en-route. I would highly recommend to anyone wishing to stay in this beautiful harbour village. A great host.

Neil2017-02-22T00:00:00Z

A beautiful little place in the heart of Stromness, Perfect for everything, the Pier Art Gallery, the shops, the ferry and main cultural sites such as Skara brae and Maeshowe. Lovely lay out with a nice little garden and good facilities. Really comfortable.

Katherine2017-04-09T00:00:00Z

Khyber Pass cottage is a perfect base for exploring Orkney, the location is ideal within Stromness, and has a great historic feel to it. The amenities are very good, it is well equipped and easy to keep warm, and was perfectly clean. We would definitely come again.

Richard2017-06-15T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay ,the cottage was small but was ideal for two, Was well located in Stromness as most of the sites we wanted to visit wasn't that far away. the cottage was very clean and well presented.with ever thing we needed. Our host was on the other end of the phone if we needed anything. We would use it again and recommend it to friend.

David2016-09-08T00:00:00Z

The cottage is located in the old part of Stromness, down a lane (not a street). There is a key safe at the front door so it was easy to access the house. The cottage was cozy, a good size bedroom and bathroom/shower on the ground floor. The spiral stair leads up to an open plan living room/kitchen with a coal fire. There's everything you might need to cook in the cottage, however we only ever made coffee! Out the back door is a small garden with a shed and stone outhouse with coal in. The cottage is quaint and homely. Parking for us was easiest on Springfield Cresent. If your looking for a quiet getaway this is definitely the place to go!!

Jill2017-09-23T00:00:00Z

Khyber Pass cottage was adorable, and perfect for my husband and me staying a few nights in pretty Stromness. It's steps away from the Main Street, but quiet and cosy. We had everything we needed, even with thoughtful touches like kindling all ready for a fire in the lovely fireplace. Christine was responsive, and we had no issues with anything. Flat was perfectly clean. Great stay, thank you!

36 Alfred Street, Stromness - a charming 1800's, 4 star cottage, has its own private Bothy right on the sea, great views and a shared pier. It has one spacious romantic bedroom, with a very small bedroom leading off from it, with a bunk bed (two beds) suitable only for children in it. Like the other three Anderson's Harbour Cottages, each Cottage is equipped with everything including a Cook's Larder (30 + different coffees/teas/hot chocolate, cooking oils/herbs etc). Wi-Fi, Smart TV, library.

The Cottage has absolutely the best of everything. There are one and a half bedrooms, lounge with Italian leather lounge suite, dining room, kitchen and a private stone Bothy right on the sea with a shared pier. The main bedroom is very spacious and romantic with white percale linen. There is a small bedroom leading off from the main bedroom with a double bunk bed in it, only really suitable for children. The kitchen is extremely well equipped with both a dishwasher and washing machine too and quality cook ware including Le Creuset pots/pans and many electrical applicances. The kitchen is extremely well equipped. There is a holiday library, stationary and games. The Bothy has its own separate TV, sound system too, besides the lounge with has this too. There is street parking nearby too. It is situated in the most prime Sea Front part of Stromness, so interesting to see all the passing boats, and bird sea life. There is Wi-Fi in both the house and the Bothy.

Even though it is nice and quiet where the Cottage is located, it is in walking distance to the pubs, deli, take-aways, hotels, museum and golf club. Wonderfully positioned for walks!

Rosemary was very kind and welcoming, the house was absolutely gorgeous, very clean and well-decorated, we had everything we needed (even more)! We definitely recommend Rosemary's houses if you plan to go to Stromness, beautiful landscapes and great accomodation! Thanks Rosemary!

Laura2017-01-07T00:00:00Z

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Rosemary's cottage in Stromness. The cottage is beautifully decorated, clean, and has absolutely everything you could ever want or need. The kitchen is well stocked with spices, teas and coffee. We enjoyed having our morning coffee in the bothy, where we watched the fishing boats come in and were lucky enough to have seals playing right in front of us! We would not hesitate to stay here again, it was the perfect base to relax and unwind, as well as see all the sights Orkney has to offer.

Amy2017-02-11T00:00:00Z

What a little gem this place was! Location is great - a 5 minute walk into the shops and pub. We arrived to some lovely music and a very comfy cosy cottage. Great instructions on the place as well as places to see / eat etc (most places were closed for the winter but that's just this time of year for Orkney). You MUST hang out in the Bothie! We had breakfast and relaxed in there. Great to read a book/ plan your day trip as you see the boats come and go from the harbour - we even saw a seal swim past! The place was clean and the bathroom had the BEST selection of shower gels and bath soaks So nice! The pantry had lots of staples and was a great kitchen to cook in. Throughly enjoyed this apartment and loved the Orkney Islands. Such an incredible place. Thank you!!

Nicole2017-01-29T00:00:00Z

We had a great time staying at Rosemary's place. It was cosy and welcoming. The cottage was very clean, the kitchen had all the necessities, and there was a lovely bathtub and bath sundries for chilly evenings. I could have spent the whole time on the pier and the bothy, the view was so wonderful! Rosemary was communicative, attentive, and very helpful...and there was lots of information in the cottage to help planning your time in the area. The cottage was well situated: close to the town center/restaurants, the grocery store, the bus/ferry station, and a great starting point for walks around Stromness. I definitely recommend staying at Rosemary's place and exploring the beautiful Orkney Islands!

Leigh2017-04-01T00:00:00Z

a cute little house directly on the shore street, with limited parking, but comes with a fab wee bothy on the sea-wall.

Norman2017-01-31T00:00:00Z

The cottage was perfect for our visit to Orkney and would stay there again. It's located in the quaint winding streets of Stromness give you a feel of the history of town. The cottage itself was well appointed with a homely feel. Rosemary has been very thoughtful in creating a home away from home for her guests. The views from cozy the bothy were amazing. We could have sat there all day.

Alison2017-02-04T00:00:00Z

It's an amazing cottage. Feels very homely and once you're settled in you might not want to leave! The Bothy is also really lovely, the exposed stonework on the inside is a really nice touch and the view from the window and pier is incredible. I can't recommend staying here enough. The only down side I can think of is if you have a rather big/wide vehicle you will have to be very careful driving to it, the streets of Stromness weren't designed for cars after all!

This quiet room can be set up with separate beds or as a double and it has a full size set of bunk beds making it also suitable for families or a group of friends.
Our generous breakfast can be ordered for £ 6 per person (children half price).

We were so happy to find Doris's place so close when we exited the ferry into the Orkney weather. It's a great spot for being in the centre of things- enjoying the shops, restaurants, cafes and pubs of Stromness and being only a short walk from the travel centre to hop on buses to all the other sights Orkney has to offer. We had a wonderful stay and were extremely comfortable. Susie our host was chatty, informative, incredibly welcoming and to top it off cooked up a brilliant veggie and full English breakfast. Thanks so much for a relaxing stay. We'd definitely come again.

Annie2017-04-11T00:00:00Z

Large, bright two bedroom self catering flat, laid out over two floors in the heart of Stromness Orkney. Situated above an art gallery at the top of an old coal pier.
Pets welcome by prior arrangement

Clear communication before stay with lots of help with information on where to park. Friendly welcome from Lisa with lots of information left in the flat to help with exploring the Island. The flat was very clean, modern and cosy. Being opposite a lovely deli was an added bonus and an excellent play park a short walk away was very popular with our boys. We had a lovely stay in Stromness and would thoroughly recommend this as a place to stay.

Siobhan2016-10-12T00:00:00Z

We had a great time, the place is exactly as advertised.

Reuven2016-08-02T00:00:00Z

This cottage/flat is absolutely perfect for a family group. It is really well furnished, terribly comfortable and in a really great location. Lisa's communication with us has been completely faultless. The property was perfectly clean, ready and waiting for us to arrive. I wish we could have stayed longer and I hope very much to come back one day. A perfect base from which to explore a beautiful island. The bakery and grocers are just round the corner and everyone in all the shops we visited were so friendly. I would thoroughly recommend it.

Marianne2017-08-11T00:00:00Z

Its a perfect place to stay at the Orknays. Very nice in the middle of Stromness. We love to go back . Maybe in wintertime.

Hanneke2017-07-29T00:00:00Z

definitely feel we made the right decision to stay in Stromness rather than Kirkwall. Lisa's apartment is right in middle of town so very convenient. Parking could be difficult but is readily available nearby. Locals tell me there are no parking police any more. carrying big bags upstairs could be difficult for older people like us, so we left our bags downstairs in the kitchen area rather than carry them upstairs to the bedrooms. Did not meet Lisa, but the keys were in the apartment when we arrived and everything was clear. Would definitely stay there again if we returned to the Orkneys, which we loved.

GEOFFREY2017-07-02T00:00:00Z

We didn't want to leave Lisa's lovely apartment. It was spacious, modern and had everything we needed. I didn't meet Lisa but she was really helpful and responsive via email. I'll definitely be looking to book here when I'm back in Orkney.

Amanda2016-08-11T00:00:00Z

What an amazing place to stay! The flat was beautifully presented, and so close to the ferry terminal. Lisa had left annotated maps for the surrounding area and a lot of handy leaflets for sightseeing. I never met Lisa but she was so helpful with regards to the parking situation in stromness. My mum has a mobility issue, but had no problem with the stairs.

The cottage is in a quiet rural area 10 minute walk from stromness pier head.
There is panoramic views with the island of hoy and the Atlantic to the west and wild country side and farmland in the east. There is also a large mature garden with a paddock adjacent which houses some hens.
It is also well situated for walker's as in every direction is a nice walk. Weaverhall is in a beautiful secluded area but all local amenities are easily accessible.

Our comfortable cottage is set in a stunning area and has a private garden for your use. The cottage is well equipped for your stay with a shower room, combined washer/tumble drier, cooking facilities and equipment. All towels and bedding are provided. WiFi access is also available.

We loved our stay in this cottage. The view was exceptional and the cottage was very comfortable. We enjoyed the gift of fresh eggs, potatoes and Orkney cheese and milk. We recommend this home to anyone visiting the Orkney islands. René

Rene2017-07-06T00:00:00Z

Weaverhall cottage is a lovely little place to stay as a couple. From the living room you have a gorgeous view on the hills of Hoy, which we climbed the second day. The harbor and ferries are close-by, as is the local supermarket and centre. Neil and his wife were great hosts, and were flexible for the check-in times. The house itself is cozy and the heater warms up the place before you know it (we had snow, was quite good). The place looked tidy and clean and everything we needed was there. The bed was good, prefer smaller springs, but that's just my preference. I would highly recommend the place and if we would travel to Orkney again, we would definitely book the cottage once more.

Leon2017-04-27T00:00:00Z

Neil and Ingrid's tiny house is a great place from which one can explore the surroundings by walking (city of Stromness, beach, hills) or the islands by car. You can also enjoy the view of sea (with the ferry Hamnavoe) and islands from the livingroom-window. The cottage is very cosy and has everything you need and there are some curious chickens living behind it. We really enjoyed our time there and if we ever come back to the Orkneys, we'll for sure choose this home away from home again - and definitely stay longer than just 3 days! Neil and Ingrid were very flexible regarding the check-in and are extremely 'uncomplicated' hosts!

Anja2017-07-29T00:00:00Z

Weaverhall Cottage is a wee gem, and Neil was a perfect host, even welcoming us with fresh eggs! The cottage is neat, clean and ideal for a couple. We stayed only 3 nights but would have been very happy to stay longer to enjoy the lovely views and walks nearby. There is a track that takes you down to Stromness, about 15 mins or so but watch as it can be muddy and boggy in parts. When arriving, we used the post code and ended up elsewhere so be sure to check with Neil for directions! Oh and watch out for the little ditch at the edge of the drive. One tip is the cooker - it has lost its markings so took a bit of trial and error to work out which was max/min and which was which hotplate but the combi cooker was good once we worked that out. All in all, loved our all too brief time on Orkney. Thanks again Neil.

Catriona2017-05-12T00:00:00Z

The house was really well thought out and equipped. It was perfect for two with a car although the walk into Stromness via paths was very quick too - about 10 mins. The view from the front of the house was stunning.

Isabel2017-07-25T00:00:00Z

A lovely peaceful little cottage which is just right for two people. It is small, but then you’re not going to be spending much time actually in it, are you? It’s size makes it easy to warm up and gives you a feeling of security and shelter from the cheeky wee Orkney breezes that have a habit of visiting. It is well equipped with everything that you might need and has a very comfortable bed. Neil is a pleasant, generous and helpful host and keeps a few chickens in the field behind the cottage. As well as welcoming you with a few local goodies, Neil may also offer you some eggs from his hens. They were absolutely delicious with slices of the local black pudding that we bought from Fletts butchers, in the town. In my view, Stromness is by far the more delightful of the two towns on Mainland Orkney. It has a lovely feeling of community about it, as well as being a very attractive old town with narrow, winding streets which ooze history and offer enticing views of the harbour at almost every turn. Be sure to visit the museum. There are several good bars, restaurants and cafes to keep you fed and watered and plenty of shops to keep you supplied, including a deli selling at least two local cheeses, a bakery and a well-stocked Co-op as well as the aforementioned butchers, which is a must. The town is within easy reach of the cottage by road, just 10-15 minutes on foot via the track and only slightly longer on the road if you want to avoid the mud on wet days. The views of Hoy from the cottage are hypnotic and I found it extremely difficult to tear myself away from the window. The view alters all the time as the light changes. When you step outside you are greeted by the calls of curlews, oyster catchers and lapwings. We really didn’t want to go when the time came to return home. All the delights of Orkney are within easy reach, either by road or via the extremely efficient ferry services between the islands. We took the ferry to Hoy to visit the Scapa Flow visitor centre at Lyness and it is worth knowing that there is a guided walking tour of the old navy base which only takes place at 11.00am on Tuesdays. Nearer to hand, you can just see a cemetery from the cottage, at the bottom of the hill in the direction of Hoy – there is a lovely level walk along the coast from the car park there. All in all, this is a very pleasant little cottage in an enchanting location which will get you under its spell. It is fantastic value for money and if we ever get the chance to return, we will definitely be going back to Weaverhall Cottage.

David2017-06-23T00:00:00Z

This was a fantastic cozy place. The views were amazing and breathtaking, and still close to Stromness proper. The cottage was delightful and a wonderful size for two people. Neil was a fantastic host and the hospitality he showed was wonderful. If you plan to stay in Stromness, then Neil is the one to stay with.

Lynds2017-06-15T00:00:00Z

We had already spent 3 nights in the center of Stromness, so to find ourselves at Neil's place with its incredible views overlooking Hoy was a real treat. Ingrid was so helpful and friendly and not only were there welcome goodies on arrival but she later bought us a basket of vegetables from the garden and eggs from their pretty assortment of hens. There are good walks from the property itself and it is well placed to explore the rest of the island. It is small but perfect for a couple who, like us, are out and about all day. We had a great stay.

Great base for exploring Orkney's stunning wildlife, historical sites and scenery.

Three bedrooms - 2 x double, 1 x twin/double

Nice quiet neighourhood

This is a super address ! The large house is very nicely decorated, modern and confortable. We can definitely recommend it !

This is a really wonderful and comfortable place to (URL HIDDEN) has everything you might need as well as being close to every convenience. What impressed us most was the wonderous view across the harbour when we had our meals and the relaxed atmosphere of the living room. We also enjoyed the welcome we received on arrival and knew immediately that help was close by if we needed it!

David2017-09-06T00:00:00Z

What a wonderful place to stay. Willie greeted us and showed us around the house, which is in a stunning location. He gave us lots of information about the local area and there is plenty of reading material including a beautiful bird book. His place is is so comfortable and tidy, well stocked with kitchen equipment, it was home from home. The beds were so comfortable, mine was a delight to rest in after a long day being out and about on the beautiful Isle of Orkney. The weather was fantastic, and there is a garden area out the back to enjoy. Willie was so helpful, he offered us the loan of a couple of bikes, but we did't have time to take up his kind offer. The views are stunning over the harbour, and I am very glad a friend recommended a stay on Stromness which was a delightful small town. It really felt like home.

Sara2017-06-24T00:00:00Z

We ( 2 Adult 1 Baby) had a good stay here for visiting the Orkney with Kirkwall and the main attractions. The accommondation is cosy and great to relex if the weather are too bad to go outside. You have Netflix and high speed wifi. The rooms are clean and very well equipped. Stromness has a lovley old history and nice buildings. A Coop are 3min away. Willie is very helpful and friendly. We had only a problem with the heating but Willie fix it directly. Enjoy the Orkney here :) If you can that go fishing from the churchill barriers or visit the Westcoast. If you climb of the hill behind the house you can see between 21pm and 5am the Aurora lights if the weather allowed it.

Marco2017-09-13T00:00:00Z

Lovely house with very friendly and helpful hosts. The house is situated above the town overlooking the harbour and just about 5 minutes into the town. The view is stunning and a pleasure to sit in the lounge watching the activity in the harbour and out over Scapa. This is a great Base for exploring Mainland Orkney. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely go again.

Mick2017-08-01T00:00:00Z

Willie and Lorraine's house is extremely well located for all of the neolithic and viking sites on Mainland Orkney. It's a super cozy, quiet, spotless, spacious house (actually 1/2 of a duplex), with a beautiful view of Stromness Harbor. The beds are comfortable. It would easily sleep 5, maybe 6. Our family of 3 had lots of room to spread out. The kitchen had all the necessary equipment, and we made dinner at home all three nights we were there. Walking distance to the grocery store and local restaurants. Lorraine was there when we needed to ask questions and was an extremely gracious and helpful host. We'll be back!

A great stay at a lovely, comfortable and cosy home. There were all the usual amenities and also extra thoughtful touches. Good Location and lovely views across to the sea! Thank you!

Helen2017-08-28T00:00:00Z

Willie's place is really clean and comfortable and well-equipped. It's a great location for exploring all the historical sites of west and east mainland and handy for the centre of Stromness. We also loved the sea views. Willie gave us lots of information about how things worked and also tips for local sight-seeing. There is also a lot of information on Orkney in the house. We had a great stay and lovely weather.

Period little house on three levels with old fashioned rose garden, original 1950s features, bath, shower, easy walk to amenities, bus,ferry. Steep windy stairs.
Gas cooker, dish washer, microwave, fridge freezer, washing machine. Internet and mobile phone signal limited.Pay as you go internet from dongle which can be unreliable.

This is a truly quaint doll's house for adults. On 3 floors with attic room, dbl bedroom and living/kitchen. Good sized bathroom with bath and shower.
Renovated in traditional materials with lots of old charm retained.
Small 'sitter ootery' or garden. Take your chance with everyone else parking!
Sound of seagulls through the attic skylight.

Stromess is an excellent base for visiting other parts of Orkney. The islands of Hoy and Graemsay can be reached in a day trip, you can cycle to archaeological sites within about 6 miles but closer to home there are lovely walks to the pierhead, or round the point of Ness as far as you want to go - Skaill if you are up for a longer hike. As for shops, there are a number scattered along the old street so you can get lost in Tam's bookshop, get a coffee from the Bayleaf, and soup from the Peedie Corner Shop, and there are lots more with a co- op and a swimming pool at the north of the town.

Great location, host arranged for fresh bread, cheese etc on arrival Great stay in this property, very cosy

Matthew2017-07-10T00:00:00Z

Our stay at the Fiona's house was great. It's one of character-filled stone cottages of Old Stromness and we enjoyed being right in the center of the quaint town, just steps from the ocean. Fiona had stocked her house with breakfast essentials and a few extras and went out of her way to make sure we were taken care of.

Taylor2017-05-14T00:00:00Z

This house is in a great position, near the center of Stromness and a ferry terminal. Fiona is a great host and the house is lovely.

Emanuela2017-08-15T00:00:00Z

We loved the quaint little house near the center of the small town. We ducked to go through the door as people have grown taller since it was built. we love its authenticity!

Michele2017-05-26T00:00:00Z

As described by other guests, this is a quaint cottage in beautiful Stromness. The location and value for money are excellent. Stromness is an ideal location to explore the sights on Orkney. Fiona was very helpful, and it was a nice touch to have a few basic provisions waiting for us in the cottage. We had a fantastic long weekend.

Rachel2017-08-07T00:00:00Z

The Doocot is as described. A little old fashioned but very cosy and lots of hot water. Good modern bathroom. Plenty of crockery and pans etc. Very good location in the old part of town. Stromness is a picturesque town. Good local museum, walk to the Ness, seeing seals and seabirds. Good butcher, baker and restaurants. Recommend The Ferry Inn and The Hamnavoe for evening meal. English newspapers arrive a day late! Fiona very helpful and attentive to our requests

Fanny2017-06-15T00:00:00Z

Fantastic stay. Fiona was very welcoming indeed. Would love to return!

Joe2017-04-14T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely time at the Doocott, definitely at the best spot possible to explore the West Mainland as well as Hoy and Graemsay. The house is humble but sufficed for all our needs. Fiona is a lovely, friendly host. We did have some problems with the wi-fi, but Fiona's daughter came around to help solve those. In Orkney, it seems that the indoors are not as important as the outdoors, so i would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to lodge in Orkney for a few days.

My place is close to public transport. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travellers, families (with kids), and furry friends (pets).

We have only positive things to say about this experience. When we planned our trip, we knew little about Orkney or places to stay. This was a new listing with no feedback at that time, so we took a risk - and it really paid off. Deborah and her family were very welcoming. They live next door to the flat and provided everything we could possibly need. They even helped us dry a load of clothes at their house, and when I went to pick them up they returned the clothes folded! Totally above and beyond expectations. The location is perfect, near enough to Stromness that you can walk in but far enough that it has a great view from both sides of the house. The house itself is spacious and comfortable for a family of 4, has great heating in all the rooms (important for unpredictable Orkney weather), ample closet space and all appliances are quite new. They also provided good recommendations about places to go and things to do.

Kerry2016-07-19T00:00:00Z

Deborah is a fantastic host, nothing was any bother for her. The place has good facilities and plenty of room. Well located close to Stromness with a harbour view. Highly recommend it.

Brett2016-09-21T00:00:00Z

Arrived late (8:45PM), Deborah kindly welcome us. The apartment in her big house is really comfortable. And offer a great view on Stromness and it harbour. We spent good time in Orkney main island and get some rest in this quiet apartment was really appreciated.

Frédéric & Florence2016-09-16T00:00:00Z

Comfortable 2bdrm place with separate Kit/Dine/living space. Th Kitchen is large and well equipped. Nice carpeting and faux fire place. Cozy. Only a .7 mile walk into town. Close to Ferry and bus services and grocery store. Although WiFi was intermittent (rural location), host lives next door and was very accommodating. She offered us the use of the clothes line to dry our clothes or the use of her clothes dryer. She brought us fresh milk for our tea in the morning as we got in from the Ferry quite late. She also offered to pick us up from the ferry-- above and beyond! We declined this as it is only a short taxi ride from the ferry dock. This place was quite, comfy and homey. It has a wonderful view of the town of Stromness below. We would not hesitate to recommend this place to other visitors. Thanks Deborah! Tim and Renee

Renee2016-10-10T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful stay at Lindisfarne Flat! The view of the harbor and landscape from the living room of the flat was magnificent! Deborah was a delightful host and was always available to us to answer any questions that we might have. Every one of our needs was met at Lindisfarne. We fell in love with Orkney and would love to stay with Deborah again. Hopefully, we'll be able to do that!

Ruthie2016-07-13T00:00:00Z

Lindisfarne is a perfect little B&B on a quiet hill overlooking the water and the picturesque town of Stromness. We stayed in the self-catering flat that's at once both spacious and cozy. Our hosts, Deborah & Kevin, were great. This is among the very best places I've stayed through Airbnb.

Tony2016-07-01T00:00:00Z

A cosy and comfortable home with everything you need for your stay in Orkney. The views are spectacular and it is in a fantastic location to explore the island sights!

Elizabeth2017-07-24T00:00:00Z

We loved visiting the Orkney Islands and Deborah's cottage was well positioned just out of the village of Stromness. The cottage had all of the facilities and was well presented. Deborah was a very happy and welcoming host.

An beautiful old fisherman’s house built with the help of salvaged ships beams and masts, Harbour Cottage is one of Stromness’ original houses pre-dating any modern record keeping. Sitting on the harbour front and directly across from the ferry terminal, and just meters from Stromness town centre – Harbour Cottage really is in the heart of this beautiful town known as The Venice of The North.

Step inside Harbour Cottage and you’ll find a beautifully refurbished and unique house, with a separate kitchen/dining room leading to a sitting room with w/c and shower room downstairs. Upstairs are two double bedrooms with one overlooking the harbour front.

Orkney will immerse you in its rich tapestry of dramatic landscapes, amazing sunsets, stunning flora and fauna all mixed in with a rich culture 5,000 years in the making. Add this to one of the richest archaeological landscapes anywhere in the world, the Heart of Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Site, then you know you have arrived in a place like no other.
From the spectacular and iconic Ring of Brodgar, to Maeshowe – the finest Neolithic tomb in Northern Europe, or the Neolithic settlement of Skara Brae – one of the best preserved groups of prehistoric houses in Western Europe, Orkney Apartments puts on the doorstep of Neolithic Orkney. You can even visit the live dig at The Ness of Brodgar – recently featured nationally on the BBC as well as the front cover of National Geographic magazine, this 3 hectare site filled with massive stone structures containing unique and spectacular finds is without parallel in Europe.
On your doorstep is Stromness – ‘the haven inside the bay’ – with its beautiful stone piers leading from a cobbled street uncoiling like a sailors rope along the seafront, Harbour Cottage will provide you with an idyllic setting and perfect location to base your stay.
We look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful islands.....

Ideally located holiday home for a visit to the Orkneys. The house is very well equipped. Tall persons should be aware not to bump their heads on the low door posts. Besides this, I would recommend the house to everyone.

Jacques2017-07-27T00:00:00Z

This accomadation is in a really good location. Literally 2 minutes from the ferry. Meant exploring orkney was really easy from here. I would use it again.

Our house is situated in the historic centre of Stromness, it is close to the ferry, bus stop, shops, pubs and food. The harbour and sea are a stones throw away and there is plenty of art and culture to explore. Our place is great for couples, solo adventurers and travellers and we look forward to sharing our home and love of Orkney with you.

We have a small but cosy double room available for either an individual or a couple. Guests are very welcome to use our kitchen and living room - tea and coffee is available at all times and you can help yourself to a light breakfast in the morning.

We are located in the heart of old town Stromness, next to shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants where you can find good quality local food and drink.
The Pier Arts Centre and Stromness Museum are a must and the street itself is full of historic buildings and stories. From here you can follow the street and then the coastal path along rocky shorelines and sandy beaches.

Silent and very good position.

Gérard2017-06-23T00:00:00Z

Theo2016-09-23T00:00:00Z

Jenny was absolutely wonderful. She was so willing to let us use her facilities and house, and she made me and my friend's trip to Orkney a delight. She is also very helpful with giving advice for travel around the island and to other islands. Highly recommend her!

Alex2017-04-13T00:00:00Z

Casual and relaxed home, centrally located in a vibrant coastal village with friendly cats and a welcome brew when you arrive.

Bronwin & Matt2017-05-22T00:00:00Z

Great location and lovely property with lots of period features. Room was comfortable and clean, as was the bathroom with hot shower. Antony was friendly.

Anthony2017-08-14T00:00:00Z

What a wonderful spot to stay! Right on the main Street! Wonderful walks from here to explore. Jenny and Antony are welcoming and helpful. They are renovating their old town house and are doing a great job! The bed and room were very cosy and comfortable. Bathroom all modern and great shower. Would live to stay here again!

18 South End, Stromness is a charming 1800's, 4 star cottage set right on the sea with its own private garden pier, slipway and parking. It has a 180 degree view over Scapa Flow from its lounge, with stunning views of sunrises and passing vessels. We also have 3 other Cottages on the sea on the Stromness Harbour, a one bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom Cottage. Each Cottage is equipped with absolutely everything including a Cook's Larder (lots of coffees/teas/hot chocolate etc). Wi-Fi too

The whole Cottage is for your use. There are 4 bedrooms and three bathrooms. On the garden pier there is a suite which has a bedroom, en suite bathroom and a little lounge of its own overlooking the garden and sea. So if one couple in your group wants a bit of privacy from the other guests in your group - this is nice to use for them.

The host canceled this reservation 175 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Alastair2016-11-27T00:00:00Z

Rosemary's cottage in Stromness was absolutely beautiful and extremely well presented. The amenities were all high quality and there were lots of thoughtful touches. My friends and I stayed here for two nights and nobody wanted to leave! Thoroughly recommended as a base for anyone coming to explore stunning Orkney :).

Matthew2016-12-18T00:00:00Z

This is a stunning place with excellent facilities. Highly recommend.

Jillian2017-03-20T00:00:00Z

We spent 4 days in this lovely house and Rosemary made the check-in very straight forward, even when we were getting at the house past 8pm. The house has all kind of utensils, so you don't need to bring anything of this on your luggage. Beds are so comfortable and the rooms are really good sizes with amazing views from the top rooms. The living room has plenty of books related to what to do in the island and outstanding views over the Scapa flow. We went with 3 kids and they enjoy playing in the surroundings. Amazing holiday house, definitely we will be back to Orkney and this house has all the chances to be one of our choices again. Many thanks to Rosemary

Creek Lea is a restored cottage in the heart of beautiful Stromness, just 5' walk from the ferry terminal. The house is warm and welcoming, decorated throughout with strong Scandinavian and Orcadian influences. Guests will have exclusive use of the house staying in a bright mezzanine bedroom (twin beds). The kitchen is well-equipped and there are many cosy spaces to eat, read and relax making this an ideal location for one or two people looking for a restful and restorative break.

Creek Lea is a typical Stromness cottage built in stone and restored and renovated by us into a cosy and comfortable home. As we run a pottery business in nearby Harray, we will be staying there while we have airbnb guests in Stromness. You will have access to the whole house apart from our bedroom.
You enter the house from a typical Stromness flagstone lane into the kitchen. This has a gas cooker and electric oven and a large fridge. There's a table and chairs. A spiral staircase goes up to the mezzanine bedroom where you will be sleeping. This has two comfortable single beds with IKEA mattresses and warm duvets. The ceiling is low (so watch your heads!). There's space here for hanging clothes. And a desk if you want to do some work.
Back downstairs, the kitchen leads through to the bathroom which has a big bath, a powerful power shower, wash hand basin and loo. There are two steps here up to the bath - indeed with the spiral steps it's not really a house that works well for anyone with mobility problems. Sorry.
The next room is the dining room with a table and chairs for 4 people. Windows on both sides of the house let in the light and give a view over the neighbouring garden and allotment.
The final room is the living room where there's a soft and comfortable chairs. This is the place to spend your evenings reading and relaxing. There's a TV and a wood-burning stove (though you shouldn't need this in the summer months).
There are some stairs here which lead up to our bedroom but we're keeping this out of bounds to store extra stuff and give you the run of the house.

Creek Lee is right in the heart of Stromness and yet totally quiet and private. You are just minutes away from Victoria Street with its shops, pubs and beautiful stone flagstones. You can walk easily in either direction - to the ferry port, Flett's butcher shop and the Coop. Or out of town towards the golf course for a fantastic view over the sea and the beautiful island of Hoy.

Great place, great location! Warm, comfortable and unique accommodations. Very kind and generous hosts. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Janice2017-06-13T00:00:00Z

A delightful traditional Orkney home. Sigrid is a generous, thoughtful and welcoming host. Everything was very comfortable and well organised. If you like culture and creativity this is the place to stay.

Maureen2017-06-10T00:00:00Z

Sigrid and Andrew are super hosts, we had a very good communication with them, and although we didn't meet, they made our stay comfortable and convenient. The cottage is beautiful and well-located near to the pier and bus station. If we return to Stromness, we will surely stay at this place again. Highly recommended.

János2017-08-16T00:00:00Z

Lovely cottage in a great location in the historic village of Stromness. The cottage is very comfortable and in a quiet and peaceful location. Sigrid is a very welcoming host. Lots of information about The Orkney Islands was provided to help us plan our stay. Fresh flowers and breakfast supplies for our first morning were a nice extra touch. Would definitely stay again.

Lynnette2017-06-28T00:00:00Z

An absolutely wonderful cottage in the heart of Stromness. We loved it!!! The photos don't do it justice, it's a beautiful place and Sigrid was a fantastic host. We'll DEFINITELY be back!

Alan2017-08-25T00:00:00Z

What a charming little cottage, very welcoming host, offered us the use of everything in her place. A stone throw from ferry and main street. Ideal place to stay. Had a fabolous holiday... And a lovely snug living room complete with log burner, perfect after a day out seeing the sights!

Yvonne2017-09-17T00:00:00Z

A delightfully cosy cottage in a very secluded location in one of the many quaint passages that lead off the equally quaint high street of Stromness. Stromness is a lovely small town, and the harbour is delightful, coming alive several times a day when the ferry arrives. The cottage is very well equipped and comfortable , and Sigrid was the perfect host, she was there to meet us and show us round at the agreed time, had lots of good advice on where to go , and was contactable by phone and email if we needed her. A delightful stay, would definitely recommend this to others.

Deborah2017-09-01T00:00:00Z

Sigrid's house was a gorgeous, cosy stay in the heart of Stromness, 5 mins walk from the ferry. The house was much bigger than we'd expected and beautifully decorated, a clearly loved home. Everything worked perfectly. Thank you, Sigrid, we'll definitely be back!

We most enjoyed our stay in Christopher's house who was very welcoming and helpful to organise our trip. The house is beautiful ; excellent breakfast ! The situation in front of the sea is perfect. I recommend strongly ! thanks Christopher!

Delphine2016-08-12T00:00:00Z

This is a wonderful place and Chris is a great host. I've been here three times now and will certainly be back again. The house itself is outstanding and historic, the breakfast is great, I love Stromness, and Chris has good tips on things god to do. This time I brought my friend from Edinburgh for her first trip to Orkney and she too was enchanted by this place and plans to come back. Don't miss the chance to stay here.

Barbara2017-07-19T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful time in Orkney and Christopher is a fantastic host who really went out of his way to make us welcome, provide information and help us find our way around. The accommodation is lovely - a spacious bedroom (en suite) with views over the sea, and the use of a beautiful sitting room where we could relax and watch the world go by. The house has an interesting history and was a great place to stay. Christopher's breakfasts were super - I loved the croissants and fresh fruit. We didn't have a car with us but it didn't matter - public transport works well and we were able to get around easily. Everybody was friendly and helpful. We both loved Orkney and intend to go back.

Alexandra2016-07-06T00:00:00Z

Great location. Spacious and characterful house with lovely guest sitting room for wet days. Welcoming and helpful host.

Mary 2017-07-11T00:00:00Z

We stayed for three nights and had a most wonderful time in Stromness. The surroundings are stunning. The property is beautiful and has the most wonderful views, and Christopher was the perfect host. He gave us helpful tips for places to see, and eat, and helped us with reservations. Our room was large and comfortable with a nice view over the sea and the neighboring island Hoy. Stromness is also very well situated to visit all the archaelogical sites on Orkney "mainland" and not too far from Kirkwall either. I definitely recommend staying here. Breakfast was varied and delicious. Last but not least I would like to mention the lounge room with the panoramic view over the bay where one can enjoy a nice cup of afternoon tea.

Set in the quaint and tranquil town of Stromness in the Orkney Islands, this property offers first class living accommodation for up to four adults. Near to all local amenities, this is the ideal place to return to after a day exploring the islands.

Fully equipped functioning house, ideal for two couples or a family. The property has its own parking drive, extensive garden with decking area and bicycles available for use during your stay. All bed linen, towels etc provided and travel cot available upon request. Board games, local books, XBox360 provided for your entertainment.

Perfect for those who want to get away from the hustle and bustle, the house has unrivalled views over the local harbour. Guests will be able to see for themselves the beauty of the Orkney Islands and the spectacular scenery and wildlife it has to offer.

The house is set on the hill overlooking Stromness. Only a few minutes walk to the main street shops and pubs, but you will have to climb the hill again to get home. The views out of every window make the climb worthwhile. Across to Hoy or over the town and harbour, beautiful. Stromness is a good base for exploring the island. I drove and found the island asy to navigate. I would definitely recommend Willie's place as an ideal base. My parents loved it too.

Linda2017-08-05T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful stay at Willie & Lorraine's home. It was perfect in every way and convenient to all there is to do in Stromness and environs. The air bnb website described the residence to a "T". Thanks to you both and we heartily recommend staying here.

CHRISTIAN2017-09-15T00:00:00Z

Willie was very helpful on our arrival and gave us a warm welcome. He gave us a few ideas about getting around Orkney, and explained everything in the house. We enjoyed the house very much - cosy on a cool evening, and with everything we needed. It was lovely being able to look out over the harbour, and we were just a short walk from lovely Stromness, from buses and so on. We both had a great time.

Joy2017-06-13T00:00:00Z

Willie met us on the ferry and told us about access and meeting arrangements. We were welcomed on arrival and given full details of the facilities. This welcome even included some basic items of food and a bottle of wine. The location is superb and the facilities, including parking, were great. The description of the house is very accurate and extremely comfortable for 4 adults. We would not hesitate to recommend this establishment to others.

Gill2016-06-12T00:00:00Z

Wilma welcomed us and showed us round the house. It is a lovely house in a good location, walking distance to the town. The house is clean and comfortable with a good shower and met our needs perfectly.

Christine2016-09-11T00:00:00Z

This is a great place to stay on the Orkney Mainland. The living room and kitchen are very comfortable. The master bed was very comfortable. In answer to a prior reviewer: Yes, the walk to the center of town is steep, but not a problem to this couple in their 60's.

Marilyn2017-09-25T00:00:00Z

we have been welcome by Lorraine in this very well equiped and clean house. She and Willie told us a lot of advice for visiting Orkney Islands and spend a good time. we warmly recommand Lorraine and Willie house you'll feel like in yours

didier 2016-07-29T00:00:00Z

We had a really great time in Orkney. Stromness was a brilliant place to stay and to visit the rest of the island from. We were met on the boat by our host, and directed to the house. Both our hosts were really helpful and the house itself was comfortable and lovely.

Orkney is full to the brim with things to see and do. For a trip at any time of year a minimum of two nights is necessary.

It is the home of the world renowned St. Magnus Festival and award winning Pier Arts Centre. It is the main ferry port from mainland Scotland.

Seona was very welcoming and accommodating - Perfect balance of leaving you to it but being really helpful when needed. The location is brilliantly placed for amble into Stromness, and the ideal jumping off point for adventures further afield across historic Orkney...not to mention the fact that the view is just stunning! Fab pack lunches and breakfasts. Highly recommend Billia Croo Bed and Breakfast.

Kathy2015-09-13T00:00:00Z

My husband and I were delighted with our stay with Seona. The cottage is very comfortable, the views are beautiful, and Seona was warm and welcoming. We would definitely stay with her again.

Susan2013-08-16T00:00:00Z

Staying with Seona made my dream of visiting Orkney all the more magical. My son and I felt instantly at home. Our bedroom was cosy, the breakfasts were splendid and the views were stunning in every direction. Seona went out of her way to help us make our connections as we didn't have our own car. We had many lively conversations over the few days of our stay and we truly had to tear ourselves away. We ended up adding an extra night to our visit and got to soak in even more of the lovely energy of the isle. Just about everybody we met was friendly and helpful but Seona felt like a true friend. Her house is snug but spacious and anyone would feel comfortable there.

Jennifer2013-07-24T00:00:00Z

Couldn't have been anymore perfect. Our suite was homey and comfortable Seona was the perfect host, accommodating and in obtrusive. The setting on the edge of the bay looking over the headland magnificent. A moment in time of perfect peace and solitude. During our short visited we explored Skarra Brae, Mais Howe, Ring of Brodgar, Sennis stones and St Magnus Cathedral. Awe inspiring.
